SLOW MAILS.

We publish to-day an apparently we'll
grounded complaint upon the snail-like
proclivities OF the mail carriers in Sewer
and Piute counties, and on the entire
route south Of Manti. According to the
statements Of our correspondent, from
one to two days time is deliberately
wasted on a route not over one hundred
miles in length. The pouches are al
lowed to lay over for several hours at
each OF the stations, when there is no ex-
cuse for the slightest delay, and the re-
suit is that from twenty-four TO fifty hours
are lost in the distance above mentioned.
Were this complaint made in the winter
time, the contractor might urge the ex-
cuse of bad roads, but coming as it does
at a time OF the year when travel is not
only safe and speedy, but is actually
pleasant, there seems to be no excuse for
it, ard it is not likely that any will be Of
fered. The delay would not be SO serious
were it to effect only one or two points,
DuJ lllC ldCl iS LildJ IONuS TWO uuDur6u
and fifty miles south OF Monroe suffer
from the delay made at that place. :.
There is nothing more exasperating
than slow mail service, and the citizens
of those suffering towns have a right to
kick until the evil is remediad. Our cor
respondent says that the man who has
the contract on that route is a polygamist
and an undergrounder and is therefore
unable to see to the business himself 1t
seems a little strange that fugitive
from justice should be awarded the con-
tract to carry the Government mails, and
if complaint were made at Washington
there is little doubt that a change could
be effected.
However, whether the mail Is carried
by an undergrounder or not, the people
have a right to demand that it shall be
carried with the greatest possible speed,
and they should keep up their kick until
this is attained.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

A Baltimore Judge has just set good
example to those who are inclined to
think that they can work the election
machinery to suit themselves. At the
recent municipal election in that city,
fraud was detected in several OF the pre-
cincts, and the crookedness was soon
fixed upon the judges OF election and the
clerks at the different polls. A large
number of these were arrested and were
given speedy trial. Seven OF them
were tried and the jury in each case
brought in verdict OF guilty. There
seemed to be an impression among them
that they would get off easy. Some OF
the convicted judges were prominent
men, and everything seemed favorable
to their being let down easy, with q
fine or a short term of imprison-
ment; but, when the first batch oi
them came up for sentence yes
terday morning, they began to
realize for the first time the seriousness
of the offense they had committed. Five
of them were given terms OF two years
each in Jail, while the sixth had fine
of $1,000 added to that, and the seventh
jumped heavy bond and failed to ap
pear.
The judgment of the Court created &
great sensation, and as there are still 6
number more TO be tried, it is needless tc
say that there were large number o.
''sleepless couches" in the Oriole city
last night. The sentence was none toe
heavy, and the example will be one
whose benefits can be reaped throughout
the land. The election machinery should
be made legal buzz saw, and those who
monkey with it should be prepared tc
stand tho oopcanuapcac

ITS EFFECT UPON THE ROADS.

In late issue of the Railway Age a
table is gwen showing the gross earnings
of one hundred and one railways during
the first five months of the present year.
These roads with a mileage of about
10000 miles, earned during the period
indicated, $129, ,O59, ,6S5, against $ll0, ,454,-
175 in the same period last ear, an
actual gain of $l8,605, ,51O, or nearly II
per cent. The increase Of mileage is
about per cent. compared with last
year. Among those showing the great
est gains, the Atchison, the New York
Central, Grand Trunk, Denver & Rio
Grande, the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul and a number of others show gains
from nearly S2,OOO,0OO to 100000.
In order to ascertain the effects of the
Interstate law on the railways, the re-
turns for last month offer some basis for
calculation. The returns of the 101 rail-
ways mentioned in the table, for the
month of May show gain in gross earn
ings of over 10 per cent. with an increase
of about per cent. in the mileage. The
mileage Of 60, 900 miles covered by these
roads is about 45 per cent. of the mileage
operated in this country This makes a
tolerably fair basis of comparison, al
though many OF the principal systems
are not included. 1t would seem,
therefore, that the operation OF the
new law has not reduced the aggregate.
but on the other hand" concludes the
Age, sit must be remembered that gen.
eral business is much better this year
than it was year ago, and that railway
construction which necessitates a vast
amount OF freight carriage, is going on
with extraordinary activity, so that
large increase in earnings is expected.
Whether it would have been larger or
smaller ii the new law had not been
passed, no one can safely tell"

THE EDITORS CRITIC.

He stands in the stores with his back
to the stove and tells how he could run
a newspaper; how he could be indie
pendent as hog on ice, and call things
by their right names; how he could ex-
pose corruption in high places; how he
could write good common sense, and
none of your frivolous, try-to-be-funny
stuff. Then he criticises other peoples
methods of conducting newspapers, and
just wishes some one would give him a
chance to show his journalistic ability.
The way to cure one of these chaps is to
get him TO agree 10 write a sensible
article every day for week. Before the
day is out he is sure to be pumped dry,
and will gap worse Tor an idea than a
chicken does with the pip.-Er.

UNDER the provisions OF the will OF
William Henry Seybert, of Philadelphia,
a commission of distinguished scientists
have for three years been investigating
the phenomena of spiritualism. After
patient labor the commission has sub
mitted a report declaring that "during its
work it has not been cheered by dis
covery OF single fact, and that no
medium can stand the test OF honest in
vestigation." This will be hard on the
mediums, but will not lessen the number
of credulous victims.

MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING.
a Witness who has Considerable lt
ssBOOdle', Information.

CHICAGO, August 19.-The announce
ment this morning that Hy. Sheridan
is missing, is believed to be the first
of a series of sensational denouements
in connection with a coming wholesale
prosecution of bribe-taking members
of the Chicago Board of Alderman.
HIS POSITION.
Sheridan was private secretary of
ex-General Manager Trip, OF the
Underground Electric Company, which
secured monopoly OF underground
wire conduit and other city franchises.
WHAT He KNOWS.
Sheridan was to have been called
before the Grand Jury soon, and it is
reported that he is being secreted by
the authorities to be procured when
wanted. Sheridan knew almost as
much as Trip about the deals and
schemes by which the monopoly was
secured and gave information that
$500, 900 worth of stock of the com
pany was distributed to members of
the City Council to secure the passage
of one franchise.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN FRANcIsco, Augu't 10.-lt is
now understood that before the end
of the year the Pacific Mail Company
will have several new and fast steam
ers on the China line from this city.
Negotiations are already in progress
at the main office in New York to
character two fast British steamers !;
and it is expected that the homeward
VOYAGE from Yokohama can be made
in twelve days.
DIMoND's OPINION.
Said General w. II. Dimond, OF
Williams, Dimond & Co.: "The fact OF
the matter is that the China traffic OF
the Pacific Mail Company has grown to
such an extent that larger and better
steamships are required. The Com
pany, am told, prefers that the trade
be carried on in American bottoms,
but unless decent rates are paid for
CARRYING the mails it is impossible to
compete with the British vessels
which are operated at much less
cost. As far as | know, every Amerl-
can Steamship Company wants only
as much encouragement as the rail-
roads get"

being concentrated here, under the

ArfEALING TO THE SIOUX.
